APC, PDP trade words over Offa LG rerun election

The All Progressives Congress has condemned the alleged vote robbery by the Peoples Democratic Party in last Saturday’s rerun election in Offa Local Government Area of Kwara State.

The APC, after its National Executive Council meeting in Abuja, said people who witnessed or monitored the election confirmed that it won convincingly.

It added in a statement on Thursday by its Interim National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, that the alleged impunity perpetrated by the PDP had started haunting it, after Mr. Afolabi Olawole, who claimed to be the PDP candidate in Shawo South-West ward, rejected his so-called victory.

The statement reads in part, “This is a damning evidence that should make it clear to the PDP that its impunity cannot stand; that there are still Nigerians, who have conscience and would sacrifice even their political and other careers for their integrity.”

But the Kwara State Secretary of the PDP, Mr. Yemi Afolayan, said the Offa rerun election was free, fair and transparent.

He accused Mohammed of losing touch with the realities in Kwara politics.

He said Olawole had defected to the ACN and was replaced by another candidate.

Afolayan challenged Muhammed to a debate on political and contemporary issues in Kwara State.

He said, “Muhammed and I come from the same local government. He was not in Kwara State and was not in Ofa during the election. He did not see anything. Usually he does not see anything when he reacts to things that happen in Kwara State . He bases his own views on hear-say.

“He does not even know the difference between what happened to someone who left PDP for the ACN or somebody who has been in the ACN all along.

“The young man in question is a political prostitute. He was in the PDP and immediately he saw that PDP went to court, he jumped to the ACN thinking that the ACN will win. But unfortunately, the ACN did not laugh last.”

Yemi Afolayan you are a real ROBBER, u will soon end up your life in jail, when did you changed Hon. Olawoles name, is after the rerun or before?. Ole, Barawo, Oyi, Robber.

LAGOS, EDO & OGUN SIEC Did worst thing than dis. They should expect more of it. No party has the monopoly of RIGGING in Nigeria. He who comes into equity must come with clean hands. ACN/APC and Punch make much of the noise only when they feel the heat

Muniru

PUNCH IS NOT A PUBLIC MEDIA RIGHT FROM DAY ONE. THEY BELONG TO THE ACN/APC. STUPID NEWS MEDIA

TRUTH MASTER

The likes of Yemi Afolayan are abundant in the PDP. That is part of the reason the party has fallen.

Afolayan, instead of answering the many questions that are begging for answers, chose to denigrate the APC spokesman for daring to challenge the PDP vote robbery.

Anyway, while he is still at his shadow boxing, let him (Afolayan) answer the following questions:

1 Why is the world just being told now that the man who exposed the shenanigans of the PDP has defected to ACN (APC)? Can we have an incontrovertible proof of this?

2. What is the name of the supposed real candidate who replaced Mr. Olawole? And why has he not also addressed a press conference to say he won the election? In any case, can the PDP change its candidate in a rerun if he is still alive?

3 Why did the overall Presiding Officer at the rerun flee to Ilorin instead of announcing the results at the collation centre in Offa? And why was the state radio station the one to announce it, in breach of the relevant NBC code?

4. Is Presiding Officer Oyetunji Akin, who said the APC won the councillorship and chairmanship poll in Shawo central ward, also a member of the APC?

5. Whose name did KWASIEC display as the PDP candidate for the contentious Shawo South-west ward? Can the electoral body please clarify this?

The world waits to hear from this shameless man, Afolayan!

Muniru

Can you tell me, Were you at Offa to see how everything goes, there is nothing like fighting, the election was so free and fear, what else do you stupid people want again, we’ve known APC as a propaganda party so we want you not in Kwara. Stupid party, founder of Boko Haram.

TRUTH MASTER

Your response has given you away! How do you know the election was free and fair when you can’t even correctly write free and fair?

Instead of addressing issues you are engaging in abuse, because you cannot even articulate your thoughts.

Apparently you can’t also read and understand. That is why you did not know that Afolabi Olawole’s name was duly published and cleared by KWASIEC as the candidate of the PDP for the election. The papers published the evidence on Friday.

Muniru, you should not have come to this forum to disgrace yourself.
You are better off in palm wine joints!

Tunde Fash

But u understand what he want to write, is English ur language? rather its colonial language to aid communication btw different ethnic group and not finesse of grammar. if u get what he meant dats ok

TRUTH MASTER

English is Nigeria’s official language! And it does not take rocket science to know that it is the only way….for now….that people of different ethnic groups (in the country) can break the language barrier and communicate.

If you must contribute to a discussion conducted in English, you ‘ll do well to understand the language or stay away. There is no room for unnecessary sentiments here, Tunde!

Thank you!

APC should should keep shut theır mouth, whatever happens to them ın Offa ıs as a result of Law of Kamar, “What goes round must surely comes around”. It was what they dıd ın Lagos and Punch Newspaper dıd not make much noıse as they are doıng now that ıs showıng face ın Offa. Laı Mohammed has never won any electıon ın hıs home Town, Offa, so Why ıs he makıng noıse now? People at grassroot knows better and Offa people dont vote on sentıments.

In my own view, I feel the AcN, is just making noise out of this issue. If acn, feel unsatisfied with the kwara state rerun election, they should go to court, and stop making noise on the pages of news papers.

Mr. Afolabi Olawole is the man of the years to be remembered for his courage. A true democrat and leader that Nigerians need at this present situation. He has written his name in memorable history of Nigeria. Indeed he should be celebrated for the truth, fairness, boldness and honesty. With this remarkable step taken by this man gives hope to Nigeria youths. I congratulate his family, the good people of Offa and Kwara State to allow this man stands by his belief. And I therefore recommend him for National Award.God bless you and God bless Nigeria.

Muniru

You don’t even understand what politics is all about, You are given him a National Award from your bedroom or what ? You knew that ACN only buy people with there money. Mr. Afolabi Olawole’s Ca-rear in Nigeria political is over. ACN dont believe Nigeria belonged to your father and take law in to your hand, since you dont have anyone to help you in the Appeal Court(AYO SALAMI), now all you can do is protesting on silly things. Go to court if you have any problem with the re-run

GLOBAL PEACE

I sincerely observed the election which I maintained that , the physical conduct of the election was free & fair. On the pronouncement of the result, I urged APC to approach election petition tribunal instead of putting law in their hands
